Meliornis nigra herbertoni Mathews

Meliornis nigra herbertoni Mathews, 1912a: 415 (Queensland (Herberton Range)).

Now Phylidonyris niger niger (Bechstein, 1811) View in CoL . See Salomonsen, 1967: 428, Schodde and Mason, 1999: 313–314, Christidis and Boles, 2008: 185–191, and Higgins et al., 2008: 668–669.

HOLOTYPE: AMNH 692242 View Materials , sex?, collected at Herberton , 17.23S, 145.23E ( Storr, 1984: 183), Queensland, Australia, on 28 September 1910, by the Dodds. From the Mathews Collection (no. 9029) via the Rothschild Collection. GoogleMaps

COMMENTS: Mathews cited his catalog number of the holotype in the original description. No paratypes are in AMNH. Two specimens collected by T.H. Bowyer- Bower in 1884 and 1885 were not cataloged by Mathews until 1913, after the 31 January 1912 publication date of herbertoni, and other specimens were collected too late or were never in Mathews’ collection.

The trip on which this specimen was collected was reported on by F.P. Dodd (1911); the birds were mostly collected by his son, but it is not clear from the article which son accompanied him.
